Current Research on Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice
Previous studies have shown that licorice extract and supplements can be an effective and safe remedy for treating symptoms of functional dyspepsia, including gastric ulcers and acid reflux. Also, deglycyrrhizinated licorice has been proved to lower the amount of helicobacter pylori in the stomach, which are related to certain gastrointestinal issues. It is even safer than other conventional treatments. Scientists have found a bioactive component called 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid, which would inhibit gastric cancer due to chronic inflammation in people with H. pylori infection. In addition to benefiting digestive issues, deglycyrrhizinated licorice can be effective in treating female reproductive issues and help with adrenal pain or fatigue, as well as relieving sore throat and cough, or improve immunity.
